74263It's more than that - years of allergies have caused my sinuses to be completely blocked. I had a CT scan and some massive sections of my sinuses flat-out don't have air in them, and no air is reaching the parts needed for smell/taste. So now I need surgery to remove nasal polyps and reopen my sinuses.

74365Did you have to do anything to stop the polyps form recurring? The ENT says I may need to be on some medicines for life to prevent a recurrence once they’re removed.I guess my nose is all around screwed up, I also have a deviated septum and some overly large blood vessels that aren’t in the right place or something.The surgery to fix it all is in March sometime. Not looking forward to the recovery...no tilting my head downwards/bending my neck for two weeks.

We must gave the same nose.. I also had a deviated septum.. and sadly to say it drifted back. Also the blood vessels. In fact, I still get nose bleeds on one side in winter when the heat from the wood stove dries things out, so I use ocean mist. I never had to take any meds for the polyps to not recur.
